The objectives of the present work are to characterize the Gas Metal Arc Welding process of DP 600 sheet steel and to summarize the modelling techniques. The time-temperature evolution during the welding cycle was measured experimentally and modelled with the softwaretool SimWeld. To model the phase transformations during the welding cycle dilatometer tests were done to quantify the parameters for phase field modelling by MICRESS®. The important input parameters are interface mobility, nucleation density, etc. A contribution was made to include austenite to bainite transformation in MICRESS®. This is useful to predict the microstructure in the fast cooling segments. The phase transformation model is capable to predict the microstructure along the heating and cooling cycles of welding. Tensile tests have shown the evidence of failure at the heat affected zone, which has the ferrite-tempered martensite microstructure.
This work demonstrates how the interaction between particle image velocimetry (PIV) and robotics can massively increase measurement efficiency. The interdisciplinary approach is shown using the complex example of an automated, large scale, industrial environment: a typical automotive wind tunnel application. Both the high degree of flexibility in choosing the measurement region and the complete automation of stereo PIV measurements are presented. The setup consists of a combination of three robots, individually used as a 6D traversing unit for the laser illumination system as well as for each of the two cameras. Synchronised movements in the same reference frame are realised through a master-slave setup with a single interface to the user. By integrating the interface into the standard wind tunnel management system, a single measurement plane or a predefined sequence of several planes can be requested through a single trigger event, providing the resulting vector fields within minutes.
In this paper, a brief overview on the demands of large scale industrial PIV and the existing solutions is given. Afterwards, the concept of RoboPIV is introduced as a new approach. In a first step, the usability of a selection of commercially available robot arms is analysed. The challenges of pose uncertainty and importance of absolute accuracy are demonstrated through comparative measurements, explaining the individual pros and cons of the analysed systems. Subsequently, the advantage of integrating RoboPIV directly into the existing wind tunnel management system is shown on basis of a typical measurement sequence. In a final step, a practical measurement procedure, including post-processing, is given by using real data and results. Ultimately, the benefits of high automation are demonstrated, leading to a drastic reduction in necessary measurement time compared to non-automated systems, thus massively increasing the efficiency of PIV measurements.
Eine neue Generation von Praktika an Hochschulen wächst heran. Moderne Wege beim Verstehen und Erlernen naturwissenschaftlicher Zusammenhänge sowie industrieller Fertigungsprozesse sind gefordert. Das Technologiepraktikum „Virtuelle Sensor- Fertigung“, entwickelt im Verbundprojekt INGMEDIA an den Fachhochschulen Aachen und Zweibrücken, trägt als neuartiges Lern- und Lehrmodul dieser Forderung Rechnung. Die Studierenden lernen einen vollständigen Fertigungsprozess mit Hilfe von virtuellen, in LabVIEW programmierten Maschinen kennen, bevor sie die reale Prozesskette im Reinraum durchführen.
Hands-on-training in high technology areas is usually limited due to the high cost for lab infrastructure and equipment. One specific example is the field of MEMS, where investment and upkeep of clean rooms with microtechnology equipment is either financed by production or R&D projects greatly reducing the availability for education purposes. For efficient hands-on-courses a MEMS training foundry, currently used jointly by six higher education institutions, was established at FH Kaiserslautern. In a typical one week course, students manufacture a micromachined pressure sensor including all lithography, thin film and packaging steps. This compact and yet complete program is only possible because participants learn to use the different complex machines in advance via a Virtual Training Lab (VTL). In this paper we present the concept of the MEMS training foundry and the VTL preparation together with results from a scientific evaluation of the VTL over the last three years.
Die Ausbildung in Hochtechnologien wie beispielsweise der Mikrosystemtechnik ist oft durch einen hohen Grad an Komplexität charakterisiert. Damit verbunden sind hohe Kosten für die Errichtung und den Betrieb der speziellen Laborräume und ihre häufig geringe Verfügbarkeit für die Studierenden. Zukünftige Ingenieure sammeln während ihrer Ausbildung aus diesen Gründen nur in beschränktem Umfang praktische Erfahrungen. Die Industrie hingegen fordert Personal mit hoher fachlicher Kompetenz, also fundiertem theoretischen Wissen und umfangreichen praktischen Kenntnissen. Dieser Diskrepanz – qualifizierte Ingenieure auf der einen Seite und eine eher theoretisch ausgerichtete Ausbildung auf der anderen Seite – wird mit einem neuen Blended-Learning-Konzept für MST-Technologiepraktika begegnet. Lernende werden über ein virtuelles Labor, das einen echten Reinraum mit realen Anlagen simuliert, intensiv auf reale Laborpraktika vorbereitet. Dabei geht es im virtuellen Labor gleichermaßen um die Vermittlung von Theorie und Praxis. Nur trainierte Teilnehmer mit einer intensiven Vorbereitung sind in der Lage, relativ eigenständig ein echtes MST-Bauteil innerhalb des anschließenden einwöchigen Laborkurses zu fertigen. Die Wirksamkeit des Konzeptes und die Steigerung des Lernerfolges durch die kombinierten virtuellen und realen Laborkurse wurden im Rahmen der Dissertation begleitend untersucht. Die Ergebnisse flossen direkt in die Weiterentwicklung der Technologiepraktika ein. Die Konzepte und Erkenntnisse sind zudem sehr interessant für die Entwicklung von Blended-Learning-Angeboten in ähnlichen oder anderen Fachgebieten sowie für weitere Bildungseinrichtungen. <b>(Die Dissertation liegt hier in 2 Fassungen vor: Die Originalfassung ist nur bei guter Rechnerausstattung und guter Netzanbindung nutzbar, die konvertierte Fassung ist unverändert, allerdings sind Qualitätseinbußen beim Ausdruck einiger Grafiken möglich)</b>
Manufacturing companies across multiple industries face an increasingly dynamic and unpredictable environment. This development can be seen on both the market and supply side. To respond to these challenges, manufacturing companies must implement smart manufacturing systems and become more flexible and agile. The flexibility in operational planning regarding the scheduling and sequencing of customer orders needs to be increased and new structures must be implemented in manufacturing systems’ fundamental design as they constitute much of the operational flexibility available. To this end, smart and more flexible solutions for production planning and control (PPC) are developed. However, scheduling or sequencing is often only considered isolated in a predefined stable environment. Moreover, their orientation on the fundamental logic of the existing IT solutions and their applicability in a dynamic environment is limited. This paper presents a conceptual model for a task-based description logic that can be applied to factory planning, technology planning, and operational control. By using service-oriented architectures, the goal is to generate smart manufacturing systems. The logic is designed to allow for easy and automated maintenance. It is compatible with the existing resource and process allocation logic across operational and strategic factory and production planning.
There is a growing demand for more flexibility in manufacturing to counter the volatility and unpredictability of the markets and provide more individualization for customers. However, the design and implementation of flexibility within manufacturing systems are costly and only economically viable if applicable to actual demand fluctuations. To this end, companies are considering additive manufacturing (AM) to make production more flexible. This paper develops a conceptual model for the impact quantification of AM on volume and mix flexibility within production systems in the early stages of the factory-planning process. Together with the model, an application guideline is presented to help planners with the flexibility quantification and the factory design process. Following the development of the model and guideline, a case study is presented to indicate the potential impact additive technologies can have on manufacturing flexibility Within the case study, various scenarios with different production system configurations and production programs are analyzed, and the impact of the additive technologies on volume and mix flexibility is calculated. This work will allow factory planners to determine the potential impacts of AM on manufacturing flexibility in an early planning stage and design their production systems accordingly.
The radio-based wireless data communication has made the realization of new technical solutions possible in many fields of the automation technology (AT). For about ten years, a constant disproportionate growth of wireless technologies can be observed in the automation technology.
However, it shows that especially for the AT, conventional technologies of office automation are unsuitable and/or not manageable. The employment of mobile services in the industrial automation technology has the potential of significant cost and time savings. This leads to an increased productivity in various fields of the AT, for example in the factory and process automation or in production logistics. In this paper technologies and solutions for an automation-suited supply of mobile wireless services will be introduced under the criteria of real time suitability, IT-security and service orientation.
Emphasis will be put on the investigation and development of wireless convergence layers for different radio technologies, on the central provision of support services for an easy-to-use, central, backup enabled management of combined wired / wireless networks and on the study on integrability in a Profinet real-time Ethernet network.
There are different types of games that try to make use of the motivation of a gaming situation in learning contexts. This paper introduces the new terminology ‘Competence Developing Game’ (CDG) as an umbrella term for all games with this intention. Based on this new terminology, an assessment framework has been developed and validated in scope of an empirical study. Now, all different types of CDGs can be evaluated according to a defined and uniform set of assessment criteria and, thus, are comparable according to their characteristics and effectiveness.
